Sounds like alot to me. But can you give us some more info.
What year, make, model etc.
I don't know that I ever heard of a sled showing hours instead of miles.

Could it be a typo and he meant 3200 miles? If hours, that is ALOT! :nervous:

Doing some quick math....at an average speed of 30 mph ..3200 hours that translates to 96,000 miles ....I think not . It's miles !

If not, I'm buying one of those sleds. 96,000 is pretty good. ;)

Must be miles.

well my sled has 7500 miles so in hours dang im looking good but i think 3500 hours would be a bit much for a sled to handle i dont think the track life or engine live woulr be able to do that and at only being a 98 they were running non-stop

Just checked and you can get one. It all depends on what the average speed of that the machine was driven at to determine mileage. Which can be found out from the MPEM.

Check his preventive Maintenance and how he rode it.. You can tell alot by just looking at the sled on how good he took care of it. Rick
